Lyrics? Yesterdays seemed familiar, but not really my era. Today's: no hope, and I knew it when I saw that it was young Birkmyre who'd set them.
As Gobi did a March summary, I'll let you have a bit of a laugh.
2009: a January marathon, after which I quit running. Then.......Nothing.
2010: Maintaining a solid effort of...Nothing. OK I partook of fine wines, fine food, old cars, planes and women.
2011: Let me try and remember......nope. Nothing.
2012. The new me.
Went out on my 30 year old bike. Mended a few bits. Realised just how many bits were totally worn out, and decided that I could afford my first new bike as an adult. Arse sore. Still not got saddle isssue resolved. Managed 65 miles on just Saturday riding, and began to realise that I might have a go at a non-competitive approach to tri. Apart from the fact that I can't swim 50m.
March data from memory.
180 miles on bike
0 running (I did 14 miles in Feb, prior to that was last August)
1 beginners ski lesson.
0 swim. Obviously.
April data
2 week holiday with daily gym and ballroom dancing to keep weight off. Major league troughing and drinking to put it back on.
134 miles on road bike (not included the gym bikes, you don't go anywhere)
10 miles on tready. (B-O-R-I-N-G)
13 miles on road.
2 swim sessions, including a lesson. Shock.
So, progress wise, my weight IS reducing, but that should be fairly easy to do.
My brief soujourn into running has been awaiting the negative reaction, but nothing yet. Fitness is 6 months short of a slow marathon.
Cycling is at touring pace, with range limited by posterior contact challenges.
Swimming offers great opportunities to improve. I'm looking forward to this bit. I HATED school swimming lessons.
Today I got the opportunity for a nice bike ride. The rain went away, the roads started to drain. I did 41 miles and at the furthest point the rain decided to come back. Can I log 20 miles of swimming?
